Cozy cottage by the Highlands Park w/bakery, beach + hiking trails close by!

NEW LISTING!!! Welcome to Highland Haven, where the stunning highland mountains meet cozy cottage life! This cute space is the perfect Cape Breton Island getaway! With close access to hiking, beaches, snowmobile + mountain biking trails, this is a traveller's dream! This home sits on a quarter acre property surrounded by the world renowned Cape Breton Highlands. The vibe? Boho-beach cozy decor. We are less than a 5 minute drive to the entrance of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the Gypsum Mine Trail, Aucoin's (famous) Bakery, downtown Cheticamp, Le Portage golf course, live music, and whale watching tours. Enjoy the stunning Atlantic beaches with jaw-dropping sunsets (we will share the private beach trail access from our close by Sunset Lane VRBO property). We are located off of the Cabot Trail for your convenience. To note - it is a (steep-ish) stairway access to the spacious loft bedroom with 2 queen beds and a cozy fireplace. We are DOG FRIENDLY, because we love our furry friends! If we are already booked for your dates, check out our sister property: Sunset Lane Cottage located just 5 minutes away: https://www.vrbo.com/en-ca/cottage-rental/p9691610

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely vacation rental. The property is private and quiet, making it the perfect retreat for relaxation. The living space is large, modern, and incredibly comfortable—ideal for both lounging and entertaining. Every detail of the home is charming and well-appointed, showing real care in its design and upkeep. The air conditioning is also very efficient, keeping the entire space cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and stylish getaway!
